I guess enough people really do want to be John Maclean. Or maybe it's just American spirit at work. Either way, Way to go guys.

UPDATE: The Captain is still being held captive by the pirates on the small pirate craft. Apparently he offered himself as a hostage in exchange for the ship's crew being allowed to go free.

UPDATE: Navy Seals dramatic rescue of hostage captain.
